started to stone down the bottom end ready for the head to go on today i'm hoping!! and here she is all apart and dry in my garage!!

well a little bit more done on the car today. head is back on with a genuine head gasket to go along with the genuine stem seals. I also used my ARP headbolts all torqued up ready to get the cams in tomorrow and then get it all timed up!!

you got em fitted yet?

wahay!!

yep not many womanly pictures In there recently though, I'm a bit dissapointed

Looking awesome dude..So happy you finally got her lowered..Now just need some nice alloys to finish her off

Here you go. A screen shot from my phone

nope not to me haha, I was going to try and get a picture of it but I have working with windows pc's

cheers boss. ye will be getting the head back on the car tomorrow i'm hoping!! been stoning down the head and bottom end ready for putting back together. will get a few more pictures up shortly

ye they do! i'm not wrapping my new manifold

Looking good mate, loving the new seats too!

awesome mate, glad there good!! need more pictures though!!

Nice update jay!Looks so much better when they are lowered, and looks like a good wee set up you have. And nowt wrong with having the chrome!! Makes it different to the rest of the modded ones imo! lol DD still has all her chrome, and with the chrome on the wheels, it all seems to work fine. I've even added chrome/stainless detailing on the interior, and think it all ties in nicely. Chrome is the new black! lol

Yeah that's right 25 squid a pop. get some plastidip. I'm loving that stuff. Ticks all the boxes for jobs like that

Awesome. Grant will give you discount if you send him naughty pictures of yourself. So I'm told it has to be blokes

Now it really dose look like a hotwheels car thats fookin cool

Well unfortunately it failed but to b honest. It really ain't bad and I can't complain considering that the car hasn't cost me anything since last year. Just need a track rod end and a ball joint and a tyre. Also when I fitted the rear silencer I must have disturbed something on the centre section as that has decided to leak now . So all in all not bad for a 15 year old car with 130k miles

Yeah it's easy, just need someone to help as the 'One man kits' are bollocks Start from the wheel furthest away from the master cylinder and work back towards it

so tonight antics was fitting the valves. brand new GENUINE valve stem seals. inlet side done!! Inlet side in all done!! took me about 3 hours to get everything done, cleaned and done everyone carefully and making sure everything is sat properly as it should as it's the first time for me fitting these on my own

ye thats what i thought, anyways tonight job was lapping in the valves, thats one boring job!!!! but they are finally done!!! i also cleaned out the exhaust ports as they were hanging!! hopefully get some better air flow now!! before and after much better all the valves lapped in ready for another clean tomorrow night then putting back together begins!!

ye its a nice combo mate

So after passing the MOT it was time to sort out my brakes, I had to scrap the Hi-spec 4 pot idea as the calipers were too far gone Got myself some grooved Mtec discs and some stoptech fast road pads. I must say i am really impressed with the stopping ability Before - (Blank EBC discs + Redstuff pads) After - I've also ordered some HEL braided hoses, caliper paint and 4 new bleed nipples, That's next weekends job!

Tested at Halfrauds autocenter too! Was hard not to look smug after seeing a 61 plate corsa and a 59 plate Pug 208 fail before me

Hey folks, not much of an update, just enjoying driving it mostly! MOT time is upon us and i finally bit the bullet and got myself a brand new ABS sensor.... Look at the shiny newness Not cheap but hopefully worth it!

Yeah do it a new clutch feels nice n well worth the money
